Given Solution: * * ** The Pythagorean Theorem tells us that c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where a and b are the legs and c the hypotenuse. Substituting 14 and 48 for a and b we get c^2 = 14^2 + 48^2, so that c^2 = 196 + 2304 or c^2 = 2500. This tells us that c = + sqrt(2500) or -sqrt(2500). • Since the length of a side can't be negative we conclude that c = +sqrt(2500) = 50. ** ********************************************* Question: * R.3.22 \ 18 (was R.3.12). Is a triangle with legs of 10, 24 and 26 a right triangle, and how did you arrive at your answer? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2 100 + 576 = 676 676 = 676 Yes the triangle is a right triangle I used the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem. confidence rating #$&*:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: * * ** Using the Pythagorean Theorem we have c^2 = a^2 + b^2, if and only if the triangle is a right triangle. Substituting we get 26^2 = 10^2 + 24^2, or 676 = 100 + 576 so that 676 = 676 This confirms that the Pythagorean Theorem applies and we have a right triangle. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: * R.3.34 \ 30 (was R.3.24). What are the volume and surface area of a sphere with radius 3 meters, and how did you obtain your result? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Volume = 4/3 pi r^3 V = 4/3 pi (3 m)^3 V = 4/3 pi 27 m^3 V = 36 pi m^3 Surface Area = 4 * pi r^2 S = 4 * pi (3 m)^2 S = 4 * pi (9) m^2 S = 36 pi m^2 confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: * * ** To find the volume and surface are a sphere we use the given formulas: Volume = 4/3 * pi * r^3 V = 4/3 * pi * (3 m)^3 V = 4/3 * pi * 27 m^3 V = 36pi m^3 Surface Area = 4 * pi * r^2 S = 4 * pi * (3 m)^2 S = 4 * pi * 9 m^2 S = 36pi m^2. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:3 ********************************************* Question: * R.3.50 \ 42 (was R.3.36). A pool of diameter 20 ft is enclosed by a deck of width 3 feet. What is the area of the deck and how did you obtain this result? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Area = pi r^2 Radius = diameter / 2 + the width of the deck r = 10ft + 3ft = 13ft a = pi (13 ft)^2 a = 169 pi ft^2 To find the area of the deck we just subtract the area of the pool from the center 169 pi ft^2 – 100 pi ft^2 = 69 pi ft^2 confidence rating #$&*:3 ********************************************* Question: * R.3.50 \ 42 (was R.3.36).
